Two of their biggest mistakes were: one, essentially hiding the fact that the single player game Squadron 42 has taken the lions share of the development focus for the last 6+ years. This makes it appear like they just don’t know what they’re doing at all with star citizen and that’s why they’re slow (they still don’t 100% know what they’re doing).

Second, they made their sound design guy who was just interested in being a pilot and eventually learned how, to be their lead ship performance/gameplay director/developer (not sure exactly on the title name.) that has lead to the ships just not flying how people want or expect them to. That and Chris Roberts wants “WWII, star wars, type dogfights” when people want Newtonian physics, excess speed, fighting.

A special third I suppose: they need money to continue, I get that, but there is a special place in hell for their marketing team.

This is probably one of the few places my job doesn’t do it horribly.

Any gifts that aren’t perishable get saved up and then before Christmas we do a grab bag type thing where we all take a number and pick a “present” from the swag we’ve been sent.

The only way they do it “wrong” is that the perishables (usually cookies) always go to the office and we never get them on the factory floor! I want cookies DAMNIT!! Lol

It’s a failure of terms used in US politics. When we say “left” and “right” we pretty much exclusively are talking about their position in respect to one another as opposed to the actual policies the parties hold.

Republicans are much more “conservative” (right wing) than Democrats (liberals) are, so the Republicans are the right and the Democrats become the “left” as they aren’t as conservative and therefore they are “to the left” of Republicans.

If you were to look at global definitions as to what it means to be a left wing party, Democrats really don’t fit there.

Sounds about right.

Project 2025: Fuck literally everything good in this world. Work to death and be forced to praise Jesus.

Waiting for them to die so I can die without hurting anyone.

Literally me, like actually literally. How did you get this picture of me I don’t even use Facebook!?

Actually nevermind I was confused for a second, that’s not me, that monkey is too handsome to be me lol

Nestle. A little child labor never hurt anyone, but an $80 Mario game!? Fuuuuccccckkkkk!!!

Seriously though, fuck all of them. Nintendo is an excessively litigious piece of shit company.

We could have had the next Mona Lisa, we could have had a better starry night, we could have seen the birth of a new Picasso, instead we got the butthole chart.

I’m cool with that.

“You are in McDonald’s. Consume and exit.”

My thoughts exactly.

They paid the $7+ for the burger when they could have gotten a big jar to themselves, plus pickle juice!

Apparently I’m the result of a ripped condom and I’ve already made it known that I wished they’d have aborted. They divorced within a year of my birth, neither had any business being a parent. I still care about them enough that I don’t want them to suffer at all so I’m just waiting until they pass so I can do the job myself.

I definitely feel for you guys in Europe, a lot of tough arguments to be had with employers coming up… If I understand correctly AC isn’t that common because it historically hasn’t been as necessary as it has been in the US. The future unfortunately is looking to make it necessary pretty much everywhere :(

I was listening to a conversation from the London school of economics and this British right winger literally tried to use “the US citizen actually owns more capital within the business sector than us in the UK” as a positive…

Mother fucker that’s our goddamn retirement gamble. You lucky fuckers have pensions.

While generally true, I think “the media” does what I mentioned in order to “manufacture consent” in cases like this. They want to create the image of what is “real” and what “people you should believe” think. God forbid you should think for yourself and agree with a spooky spooky socialist, no no we need to make you afraid of him! We need you to believe that only “freeloaders” vote for him and “real taxpayers” will be hurt by him!

Nope lol unless you own a yacht you’re more than likely not looking for these things

“The media” love nothing more than to find the absolute most disgusting scum in our country and interview them for their opinions…

Oh, yeah I’m on record for that for sure. I’m part of the health and safety team so every month each summer I bring up the heat lol

It’s a small enough company that decisions that involve any expensive expansions go to the owner. He’s already denied a request to set up a few fans near the ceiling to get airflow from one side of the building out to the other so anything like an actual a/c are out of the question.

The general response is “we told you it gets bad in the summer, if you don’t like it there are plenty of doors to walk out of.”

Even if I shared the name “we” already don’t buy from them, we make stuff for rich people and some military applications. It’s a weird combination lol no weapons thankfully.

I’m in NY and that’s the language I was able to find in the states laws regarding factory conditions, but it’s not really regulated since their only stated “metric” is a completely vague, subjective amount: “reasonable.”

Nowhere in the language do they define reasonable, and when I reached out to my “representative” asking for clarification they never responded, naturally lol
